One Piece: Winged Dragon of the Beasts Pirates

Ian sighed.

That’s okay.

The offline monarchy is a fitting tribute to the benevolent rulers of Africa.

Anyway, Wano Country isn't that big; it only takes about two hours to fly from Onigashima to the Flower Capital.

"So, Mr. Kai, what is it that you want me to do?" Ian asked.

"Several daimyo have raised armies and are heading towards the Flower Capital. You can ask Jin for details."

Teacher Kai let out a burp, "Anyway, you go and deal with them."

Ian pointed to himself. "Am I alone?"

If I remember correctly, those daimyo who started their rebellions in the original work were quite powerful, one of whom was even a relative of Zoro and a descendant of Ryuma.

"What nonsense are you spouting? Suppressing domestic rebellions, isn't that what a king should be doing?"

Am I the king again now?

Teacher Kai, I really can't figure you out.

However, since it is the king who is suppressing the rebellion, it is acceptable for me to bring along ninjas and samurai, right?

Ian thought to himself.

Oh, and there's one more crucial question.

"Teacher Kai,"

Ian became slightly more serious. "How exactly did you manage that fire dragon the other day? Flames have no physical form, yet you managed to condense them into something tangible, and even imbue them with Haki?"

"Hmph, are you interested in this?"

Mr. Kai seemed somewhat pleased. He gave a soft hum and took another sip of his drink. "Because of willpower."

"what?"

"If you want to do it, you can do it."

"what?"

Chapter 29 Willpower! The Three Great Famous

2024-06-04

Willpower?

Ian found it hard to believe that Mr. Kay was being serious with him.

He really wanted to remind Kai-sensei, "Do you think you're the protagonist of a shonen manga? That you can just unleash your full power by shouting about buddies and bonds?"

Wake up! You're the villain who got punched into lava by the protagonist who went into overdrive!

However, before he could say anything, Teacher Kai told him to get lost.

He doesn't seem to be joking.

Willpower?

Ian recalled for a moment, and it seemed that this thing really did exist in this world, and was a kind of power that could actually be used.

The Six Styles of the Secret, the Return of Life, isn't it just about injecting willpower into the body to achieve precise control over every part of it? Even hair, which has no nerve endings, can be manipulated.

hiss.

Now that you mention it, I suddenly understand where Luffy's invincibility comes from.

Helpful family members! Strong willpower really works!

Even if the body is riddled with holes, a strong will can still drive the body to move.

That makes it possible to give flames a physical form through willpower.

But how do I train my willpower?

Teacher Kai said that as long as you want to do it, you can do it. What does that mean?

"Ian!"

As Ian was pondering, his eyes lit up. A lovely white-haired girl had jumped in front of him, her eyes sparkling. "Are you done with everything?"

Next, I need to find Uncle Jin to ask about the enemy's situation, and then have Fu Lu Shou prepare the army.

However, Ian looked at the guy's expectant eyes.

"Let's go play hide-and-seek."

"Great!"

Ian's guess was entirely correct. Just a minute later, he found Jack behind a staircase, struggling to squeeze himself into the cramped space.

I already said, what are two guys who are almost four meters tall playing hide-and-seek for?

After playing with his three friends for a while, Ian went to find Uncle Jin to learn about the situation of the three rebellious daimyo, and then went to find Fu Lu Shou.

"what?"

Fukurokuju was shocked. "Those daimyo actually dared to launch a rebellion?"

Ian glanced at the guy; Fu Lu Shou's information was really outdated.

"Hisaki's daimyo is Fuugetsu Miyuki, Udon's daimyo is Amatsuki Tenfuro, and Suzuko's daimyo is Shimotsuki Gyumaru,"

Ian said, "The three of them raised an army at the same time, with a total force of more than 8,000 men. They should have already met in Udon and are preparing to attack the Flower Capital."

"Those traitorous officials!"

Fu Lu Shou was filled with rage, "How dare they do such a treasonous thing!"

“Your Majesty Ian, I will immediately gather the troops. The Flower Capital can muster more than five thousand soldiers, and I also have a ninja force of more than five hundred men under my command. I will immediately send them out to scout the enemy situation.”

"Go."

Ian nodded slightly.

After all, it was a coalition of three daimyo, and in terms of military strength, the Flower Capital alone was still far from being able to match their combined forces.

But that's perfectly sufficient.

Ultimately, ordinary armies can only serve as a mood-setting force in battles between the strong.

Let alone ordinary soldiers, what about strong figures like King, Queen, Zoro, Sanji, Yamato, and Marco during the future Onigashima battle?

The only ones who can truly decide the outcome of the war are Guy and Luffy.

"Yes."

Fortune, prosperity, and longevity departed hastily.

The sun sets in the west, and the rabbit bowl appears.

This region is located in the southern part of Wano Country and is a predominantly mountainous area.

Although agriculture and animal husbandry are difficult to carry out in this area, Udon has abundant mineral resources. The largest mining plant in Wano Country is located here, and the mineral being mined is Seastone!

Wano Country is the world's largest producer of seastone, and 90% of the seastone in Wano Country comes from the mines in Udon.

The value of the sea stone mined here every day is astronomical.

Meanwhile, in a stretch of open field in this area, smoke rose from the campsites.

The armies from Udon, Nozomi, and Suzugo have already met here. After a final rest tonight, they will set off tomorrow to storm the Flower Capital in one fell swoop.

We're very close to the Flower Capital from here. We just need to cross the river between Udon and the Flower Capital to reach the capital of Wano Country.

Inside a tent in the center of this sprawling camp.

Three daimyo from three different villages are entertaining a guest who has arrived unexpectedly.

"It's so good that you're still alive, Madam Shi."

The speaker was Shimotsuki Ushimaru, the daimyo of Suzuhira. "As long as you're alive, the Kozuki family hasn't completely disappeared."

This man is also a famous samurai from Wano Country, and a descendant of the legendary dragon-slaying swordsman Shimotsuki Ryuma. He has almost blue hair and looks very tough.

Sitting in front of him was a woman, Kozuki Oden's wife, whom Ian believed had traveled to Kozuki Toki many years in the future.

What exactly happened during those five years?

The man named Nozomi, with a painted face and a thin shimenawa rope tied around his forehead, asked in a deep voice, "We all thought Oden had really gone mad!"

Kozuki Toki paused for a moment, then said, "Orochi kidnapped many hostages, threatened Oden, and deceived him with Kaido, saying that if Oden pretended to be insane for five years, he would leave Wano Country with the Beasts Pirates."

"..."

The three lords' breathing suddenly became heavy.

They really wanted to curse Kozuki Oden for being such a stupid idiot!

Is this a time for womanly compassion when it concerns the entire nation?

To put it bluntly, what does it matter if a few people are sacrificed?

Now, not only are the hostages going to hell, but the entire country is doomed.

If the truth had been revealed earlier, things wouldn't have come to this.

However, they couldn't bring themselves to verbally abuse a dead person in front of their widow.

Shimotsuki Ushimaru took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then asked Mitsuki Toki earnestly, "So, Mrs. Toki, now that things have come to this, what advice do you have for me?"

"I learned of your actions from Lord Kang's retainers, so I came here immediately."

Kozuki Toki bowed gracefully to the three daimyo, saying, "Please, everyone, stop."

“You said,”

Rabbit Bowl, a man with a long, thin face and Buddhist prayer beads around his neck, asked Rain Moon Tenfuro, "Stop?"

"You can't win."

Kozuki Toki said, "If our opponent is the Beasts Pirates—"

"enough!"
